Tyres make it look ugly.
Top tube doesn't quite line up with rear triangle - like they were trying to get it to flow, but couldn't quite manage it.
Other than that, lovely.
I can't get past those god-awful tyres......
In fact, it's pretty minging overall.
Do those wheels have any valves?
Scott seem to have removed all valve stems in their 2018 catalogue/media release images
Looks spensive
If you.... rotate your wheels ...you too can make the valves disappear! (behind the stays/forks) 😀
I really want some of those tyres 😳
now, I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it's just in this case that eye is most likely wedged in the festering skull of small deceased sheep currently located in a muddy ditch in the arse end of buxton*

But that means the tyres logo's and valves don't align.
Gnnnrrrrrr....

Skinwalls.
Boak.
No thanks, I'll have a 3k bike and keep the change.

You have to make choices in this world!
I think it looks ace 8)
But I'm odd 😆
Way too pricey !!
For what it's worth the wheels here have been airbrushed rather than rotated. The rim logos are in identical places, and these are always aligned the same with regards to valves. Given where the DT Swiss logo is (at the bottom) I'd guess that the valves were aligned to tyre logos here and airbrushed out. I must say that the 3 logo rim is more upsetting to my OCD as that means something will always be amiss!
I'd want pedals for that price.
I'll join the chorus of others here...
The valves clearly haven't been setup to align with the logos, so it's a wreck. I mean, OK, they might have photoshopped them out, but I simply couldn't take that risk.
So we're at that stage in the tyre sidewall colour cycle again. Has it really been 20 years?
I suppose it was inevitable given we've just had the dyglo renaissance in the last few years.
holy integrated stem and handlebars batman

Yep, on the rear I can see all 7 parallel spoke pairs.. so photoshop it is.
Wait so you guys think it's not holding itself up in a pure white room? So confused
I didn't say the wheels had been rotated in the pic, now did I? I said, you [i]can[/i] rotate your wheels..!
Which is far more accurate than "airbrushed out" - cos I bet it was done on a compooter.
😆
That stem and bars looks weird. Is that a plastic top cap?

Much as I like skinwalls, I'd take mine like this.
All that gold looks ming.
^^that one has valves. They are so useful for getting sir in the tyres. Therefore I'd like a much cheaper version of that one.
i'm looking forward to orange forks no longer being a thing
